Tony Mutzenberger makes the DNC and Ahman's Charger...

So I am watching some video from the Democratic National Convention today and I heard the video on the vetrans was really good. So I sat down to watch it and low and behold, who did I see? Tony Mutzenberger front and center in a still picture of a bunch of soldiers saluting. Not sure the situation of the picture but I knew right away this was Tony.

Tony Mutzenberger, of the Minot Mutzenbergers, made the big show. Nice job Tony. It sure will be cool when I put this Entourage together and maybe Tony makes the crew to have a war hero and a TV star all in the same package.

Okay, Tony's co star in this epic was none other than Tom Hanks. Oscar winning Tom Hanks. That's right. That is how Tony Rolls. On top of that, Steve freaking Speilberg directed the clip. Wow, one of the greatest directors of all time put Tony in one of his films. Put that one on his resume.

CLICK HERE TO WATCH THE VIDEO. He is in right at the 39 second mark, so watch closely. On the YouTube version above he is at the 2:02 mark.



Also, I am here to tell you that I will be driving that car behind Ahman Green. Oh yes I will. See here is the story. CLICK HERE to read the history on the car. CLICK HERE to read a story on the raffle.

Now here is my story. Dad calls me and tells me that he and my Aunt Betty, of the Omaha Aunt Betty's, decided to buy three tickets for the raffle on the car. Five bucks a pop. The way it works is they draw 25 names that will receive a key to try to start the car. Guess what, they drew one of my old mans tickets. So you all know I believe in Density. It is my Density that I will be driving that car soon. On Sunday Aunt Betty will get her shot at starting that car. I know that her being a lifelong fan of the Huskers, not to mention a season ticket holder for many years, she is sure to get the right keys.

Dad thinks they will sell it after they win it. NO FREAKING WAY!!!! I told him in no uncertian terms will he sell that car. No way. I have already planned a trip to Vegas in that car with my boy Kenny B. I am going to look sooooo good in that car you will not believe it. Apparently it has a replica of Memorial Stadium in the trunk along with replicas of the NCAA National Championship Trophies. It is soooooo mine.

Wish me luck. Now get back to work.

Slick Willie Speaks...

The Gear Daddies, Minneapple, and the Twins game sucked...

Okay, so this post is a bit late but the whole Favre to NY threw me off and I have been busy as hell lately so just read it and get over yourself.

I was in Minneapolis last weekend. Yup, I was in the states. I know most of you felt a tremor in the force. I went down with Donna to see Robby, Dahl, Nick, Tony, and the Gear Daddies. Not necessarily in that order.

We left Regina on Wednesday night with full intentions of getting to Minot in time to have some ribs and beers with Tony Mutzenberger and Steve Shoenrock, of the Minot Mutzenbergers and Shoenrocks. Work did not get me out early and an unfortunate forgetting of the passports set us back.

Oh well, it is all good. We stopped over halfway and dropped McKenna with my parents in Hazen to stay for a visit and we were back on the road the next day. We stopped for Lunch in Fargo and were able to hook up with Nick Chase of the Fargo Chases. It was a nice visit with him and his wife and baby. I have not seen Nick for a while and it was like we just saw each other yesterday the way we just rapped like old times. Nick of course is stamping out Terrorism and anyone else who dares to flout the rules of law in North Dakota. Much ass is kicked by this man everyday. Don't F with Nick Chase.

After lunch we finished our trip by arriving at Robby DuPuis of the Minneapolis Dupuis. He has a very nice house just at the end of the Minneapolis Saint Paul Airport. It is amazing how low those planes fly above his house.

On the agenda for the weekend was a trip to see the Gear Daddies at the Zoo Amphitheatre, a trip to see the Twins at the Metrodome, some artsy stuff at the Art Fair, and some serious shopping at the Mall of America.

Friday morning took us to the Mall. Donna did some power shopping and I purchased a replica of the new Lambeau to go with my old one. Good morning at the mall. Robby worked that day. It was the first anniversary of the bridge falling into the river so he had some big shoots that day. If you remember correctly he was the first TV news camera on the scene that day. He has even was interviewed for a special that aired that evening. I saw Robby's footage from that day and he did a great job. Proud of him, I taught him everything he shouldn't do so he did great.

Anyway, Friday night brought the reason why we travelled all this way. Well that and the beer that Scott Dahl owed me. The concert was at the Minneapolis Zoo Amphitheatre. Nice little venue to see a show at. Around 1000 people crowded in to listen to a band that has been around for a long time. The Gear Daddies are a band from Minnesota that play a brand of alt rock/country that I am a huge fan of.

Dahl got the tickets for us, which I still owe him for, and the night was on. I managed to record most of it on my iPod. I know it is not exactly kosher to do that, but hell, I did. If you would like a copy just drop me a line and we will get it done. Oh and just so you know, there is a lot of us singing on this copy. Well here have a listen...


Gear Daddies live... from hamiltongbp on Vimeo.

Yup, that is me singing. The drunk guy. That was an awesome concert. A band that I have wanted to see for a long time.

The next day we, as my suggestion, decided to go to a Twins game. I take full responsibility for this trip. I know, the Twins suck, the Metrodome sucks, it all sucks. I have never been in the Metrodome so I wanted to experience the suck in person. Plus, I was hoping to do Robby DuPuis Entourage Podcast at the game. You know, that would be cool right. Podcast live from a major league baseball game. Well, kinda major league since it is the twins.

I figured that it would be me, Donna, Robby, Dakota, and about 10 other people. That is usually what I see on the highlights. Well, unbeknownst to me it was Twins DQ hat night. It is amazing how midwesterners will go out of their way to get something free. If I was a Twins fan and a resident of Minnesota, thank god I am not, I would soooo be there. We could not get a seat on the lower level, from scalpers. I hate those guys. That is a whole nother story. Anyway, we sat way up in the top of the Metrodome. If this were a queens game, which again thank god it was not, it would suck to watch a game there. Way to sterile and air conditioned. Especially for baseball, a person must be outside for a ball game not in this baggie dome.

So we are watching the game and this dude about 10 rows up starts yelling at the team. My first thought is dude, we are three miles from the game, they cannot hear you. But he paid for his seat he has a right to yell. Then this broad, and I use this term in a completely non flattering way, starts yelling back at him. I immediately think we are going to have a fight. I of course, encouraged the fight. Nothing happened. So I decide to find more tasty beverages so I go out and search for a tasty one. While I was gone the broad decided to have this guy kicked out. He wasn't swearing, he wasn't too abusive he just was an Indian fan. So this chick took it upon herself to have him ejected.

Robby decided to give her a piece of his mind on the way out. I told him I had his back and he proceeded to tell her that if she did not like heckling that she should stay at home and watch the game. Well this trailer trash did not like this and promptly told Robby that he should go back to New York. Dumb ass, which is what I called her a few times. Then, get this, just as we get to the concourse she grabs my arm, pulls me toward her, says "have a nice night", AND HER DAUGHTER KICKED ME IN THE SHINS. Then they ran to the womans bathroom. AMAZING.

I just got kicked in ths shin by a 13 year old trailer park trash kid, who is a Twins fan, at a MLB game. Wow. I hate to generalize, but I think I will. Twins fans are just as dumb as queen fans. Sorry. Here is another thing about Twinsfan that drove us crazy. NO ONE SITS AND WATCHES THE DAMN GAME. We sat on the aisle so all we saw the whole game was jerkoffs going up and down buying sammiches, dogs, popcorn, pop, and anything else they think they need RIGHT NOW. We only saw a few innings of baseball, and a ton of a-holes walking up and down. Sucked, sucked, sucked, sucked.

So that was the basic gist of our weekend in Minneapple. I did not get to do my podcast from the Twins game, but we did it from Robby's man cave in his basement. CLICK HERE to listen to the magic, or just click the link above. I have had it up for a week or so and some of you have already hit it so thank you for listening to TundraTalk the Podast. Robby did a great job and we added a new game to the show. It is called Brush with Greatness to the Death. Basically the host starts with a Brush With Greatness story and then the guest has to counter. It goes back and forth until one of us give up. I will tell you that I do not give up. Deal with that.

Now Tony Mutzenberger of the Minot Mutzenbergers was supposed to go before Robby but he has been busy being an army guy so I will get to him soon. Up after that will be Mitch Davis of the Regina Davis'. Good luck Mitch. Start studying your man laws.


Okay that is all. Now GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!

It is time to put it all on the table. Literally...

As I sit here with a bag of frozen peas on my lap I can honestly tell you that I am willing to share anything up here on TundraTalk. I shared with you my root canal. I shared with you my Trish Stratus fart story. Nothing really is out of bounds.

I am now taking it to the next level. If you are a loyal listener to TT the Podcast, you know that I was scheduled to get fixed. That's right the Big V. Before you run screaming to your You Tube site to watch some dude sing a bad version of Karioke, I will tell you I have no pictures, just a few good stories. If you enjoy laughing, read on. If you enjoy laughing at me, you HAVE to read on. Doug Helbing of the Bismarck Helbings, said he had it done a while back so if guys are doing it it must be okay, right?

Before I went to this thing I decided that if I do not make it through this, I would give all my sports memoribilia to Trev Doroshenko, of the Regina Doroshenkos. EXCEPT the Brett Favre ball because when I go, I am taking that with me. Not sure if Trev wants all of it, but that is too bad if he doesn't. Donna was a bit upset with that because she said she would want to keep it around and 'cherish' it. Not sure if that is code for garage sale, but it was nice to hear.

It was yesterday at 12:30pm. I of course was soooo excited. I mean really, who doesn't want to lay on a table with your junk hanging out for some dude to take a scalpel to? Oh, yeah, just get in that line. Nick Chase, of the fighting terrorism Fargo Chases, commented that he thinks it is a "minor" surgery and I told him it is "bigger" than he thinks, and stop thinking about 'it'. Not that there is anything wrong with that.?.

Lets go back a few months. I was hanging out at the CBC in Kenny Bilash's, of the Regina Bilash's, edit bay when the subject came up. Not sure how or why, but it did. Kenny said that the CBC had done a story on this new 'scalpeless procedure' that they are doing now and that I should watch it. Well, I am one for not having too much pain, especially down there, so Kenny goes and gets the story and I go to a vacant edit bay and sit down for a look see.

I cue it up and the first thing I see is another dudes junk right there in 16x9. That is all I need is someone to come into this edit bay, where I am sitting by myself, and see me looking at some other guys junk! Kenny set me up. He says he didn't, but with a smirk on his face. Nice. No digi back when they did this story? Come on. No one wants to see another guys junk.

Needless to say the doc that is doing the procedure does not do the new 'scalpeless' way. So I guess the joke is on me again.

Fast forward to yesterday around noon we are pulling into the Pasqua General Hospital and there is this big German Shepard in the back of a truck in front of us barking his head off. Yeah buddy, I know how you feel.

After around a 30 minute wait, Canadian wait times aren't that bad don't beleive what the fear mongering Republicans tell you, my name is called. Moment of truth. I have been waiting for around 3 or 4 months for the day (I had to cancel once, and the doctor had to cancel once) to get here and now was go time. I was instructed remove my gear and to lie on the table and cover up with a blanket. I brought my iPod with me to try to cope with the idea that I am going to be awake while some dude has sharp edges near my stuff.

Doc walks in, I put on Rage Against the Machine. He asks me what is that? I say and iPod and he responds what is that? My doctor does not know what the hell an iPod is? What the hell? Am I sure that he is who he says he is. Maybe I should check ID. 'Just another bomb track' is now blasting in my ears.

As a cameradude who once worked for Trinity Hospital in Minot and did Trinity Health Talk once a week for the lousy noon show on KX, I have shot hundreds of surgeries. Major and 'minor' as Nick calls it. I have seen a mans heart stopped, I have seen total knee replacement, and I have even seen an angioplasty (I think). BUT ALWAYS THROUGH A BLACK AND WHITE VIEWFINDER. Never in color and never with my own two naked eyes. Sorry about saying naked. Whenever I flip by some show that is showing a surgery I flip fast. Cannot stand to see it, don't want to see it. Keep it away from me.

The doctor asked me if I wanted to know what he was doing? Nope, just leave me alone with my Rage. I just want you to do it and get out. He of course did not like that but still did not take away my iPod.

Since I had the iPod only in one ear so as to make sure that I heard his instructions "Whatever you do don't move your hands down here." Okay that is easy. I hear this metal clip that appears to sound a bit like when you release a vice grip pliers. Uh oh, what is that for? I did not have to wait long to find out. That is exactly what it was, a vice grip for my boys. Now the next time I hear that a chick has a dudes nuts in a vice, I know exactly what they are talking about. Hey doc how about some numbing for the area? Holy crap that is a bit of a pain.

By this time we are up to 'Killing in the Name of". Okay here we go, needle number one. Pain but not bad. Now this guy must have been in a hurry because he hadn't set down the needle before I could feel the scalpel cutting me. Yeowch. Not something I recommend to anyone. Things are going along well, if you consider 'well' is another guy with a vice grip on your boys slicing and dicing his way through my privates. When all of a sudden I feel like someone just kicked me as hard as they can. I of course express my discomfort. The the doc says "Oh sorry, I can fix that."

WHAT!?!?!?! YOU CAN FIX THAT? WTF? That is the last thing a dude wants to hear when a doctor is working on the boys. He says 'I can fix that'? Oh man, am I pissed. I put both ear pieces in and hear "F#ck you I won't do what I tell you". Yeah, Rage is just what I need right now.

He 'fixes' that and says to me "If it is any consolation I am almost done....with this side." Thanks, dick. He stiches me up and starts on the other side and a nurse comes in, on the other side of the screen, and asks the doctor if he needs anything. My first thought is he needs a manual, but doc says he is fine. I tell the nurse I could use a shot of vodka and she replies that they have some but do not share with the patients. Great, everyone is a comedian.

At this point I am half way thru the Rage record and I am sweating like a pig. Just sweat running off of me. He tells me he is going to give me extra pain stopper for the other side. Thanks dude, now just get it done. He manages to get thru the other side with out having to 'fix' anything and is sewing me up. At this point he calls for a nurse to come in and 'help' him find a band aid. Oh great, it is not humiliating enough that a guy has a hold of my jewels but now someone else gets to come in and witness it. I think to myself, she is just a nurse, no big deal. Nurses are like your mom. Great, now I have mentioned my mom. I open my eyes and see the nurse. Great. She looks like the nurse that you see at a strip show. I am lying here with my junk out, some dude has a hold of it, and strip show nurse comes in.

How do you act cool in this situation? No way to do it. On top of that I look like someone has dumped a bucket of water on me I am sweating so much. Hey doc, can you wrap this thing up soon while I still have a fragment of my dignity?

So he does and then just says to me, "When you feel like getting up just get up and go." And he left. Whatever happened to bedside manner? You just spent 30 minutes holding onto my family jewels and you don't even say goodbye? How about buying me dinner?

So I lay there for a while reflecting on what just happened, and another nurse comes in and gives me some paperwork and then kinda stands there as to say "Well, are you leaving?"

I appease them and get up gingerly and head to the waiting room where Donna and the girls are waiting. As I walk out of the joint, again gingerly, I could not help but think that it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be but hell, could they not at least get me drunk before they did all that to me?

Now GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!

This just in...TT is looking in the mirror. I was right again.

Just so you all know, I made a comment about Ted Thompson looking into the mirror to look at his huge ego and I was not kidding around. Some of you may have just laughed, out loud, and then moved on thinking that I just made a funny and was not serious. Well, just as most of the things I say here on TundraTalk, I was right again. Have a look at the TRANSCRIPT from todays press conference with him. Here is the excerpt...


(You took a lot of hits the last month. Was there any criticism that bothered you or that you thought was unfair?)
Everyone has their own take on this. I think you could call people in Russia and they would give you an opinion on this one. There is not much that you can do about that. I think you try to just do your job every day and be able to look at yourself in the mirror at night. But other than that, no, I don't think so.

Thanks again for me being right. If any of you want a reading or a prediction just give me a call or send me an email and I will work it out for you.

Now, GET BACK TO WORK!!!

Various Favre Tid Bits...

Okay, I was at CAA today getting some cheap movie tickets when this brochure caught my eye. Some fine young boy smiling for a picture with a Viking. He looks just sooo happy to be standing next to the mascot of the worst team in the NFL. Now at closer look, you notice that he is wearing a Number 4 jersey. Agast!!! It is bluish purple. What the hell? Why in gods name is that jersey that color?

You and I both know that there is no one in their right mind would wear a number 4 jersey unless it was Favres. Also we know why he is so happy is because all Packers fans know that they are superior to any viqueen. I mean really, who wouldn't be smiling.

Now, who is the mental genius that thought it would be a good idea to change the glorious green and gold to a puky bluish purple? That is crazy. I am thinking that they did not want to pay the NFL for the rights to put it on their cover so they just changed the color. To take my conspiracy theory to the next level I am betting that the a-hole who did this is also a queen fan (because they are close). This shows you how smart he is, he can't even get the color right. Loser. This guy should be locked under the jail. No one should be allowed to disgrace a Packers Jersey, let alone Number 4. I am thinking I might send this to the Packers and see what they think. But right now they are probably not to concerned with anything Brett Favre right now. TT is probably looking at himself in a mirror asking it "Mirror, mirror, on the wall. Who is the best GM of them all." I hope that mirror is cracked.

Donna thought it might be a Winnipeg Blue Bomber jersey, but there is a big NFL crest right there on the front. Nope, not Bombers. That would be plausible but no go. Now that would have been something to get a Bomber jersey on that kid.

I am not sure when this came out but I imagine it was in the spring. This was well before the whole controversey. Had to be. Maybe this is the thing that started the whole mess. I know it would be easy to blame him, but I know he is not that smart. Now, Todd Holdman, of the Fargo Holdman's, sent me this LINK to an article about a dude in Wisconsin who bought a Favre Jets jersey. Now, you may be thinking that that is no big deal. Well you would be right but he bought it six years ago, at JcPenny no less. Weird. Things are just a bit weird right now.

So where does this lead me? I don't know but I thought it was quite weird.

Accident out front of my house...

Okay so Thursday night I was minding my own business watching the Rider game when I heard this big screeeeeech and a bang. I knew right away that we had just had an accident on the street in front of my house. Now, I know this because me in my old age have started to yell at the kids. No, I am not yelling at the kids to get off my lawn, I yell at them as they go by at 100kph on my street. Most of the time they slow down, some of the time they can't hear me because they have their god forsaken stereo up too loud.

Now I know, I sound like a crusty old bastard right now complaining about loud stereos and driving too fast. Both things I had and did in my youth. In fact I had a stereo so loud that Bryan Powell, of the Alaska Powells, once got sick to his stomach after an evening in the back of the Escorche whilst Public Enemy was pounding the speakers. I know that was dumb, but I did not do it very often. I also spent many hours driving way to fast and way too dangerously. ONLY I did not do it in residential areas, I did it out in the country where the only thing I might kill would be a deer, a cow, or maybe myself.

Well this idiot, and I use that term loosely, decided that he was going to race by my house. We live just past a corner on a street that basically just does a loop. We got new blacktop last year so the kids like the nice smooth road to race on. This kid came into the corner too fast and did not make it. He hit the curb, jumped a bit and then smack into the tree. My neighbor accross the street is not too happy. That is the kid with the wrist brace in the picture. The other mental geniouses on the curb were his passengers. Hey dumbass, your hat is on backwards.

So the Mensa prospect that was driving jumps out of his car and the first thing out of his mouth, after he tried to run away but a lady stopped him, was "Stupid car.". That's right he said "Stupid Car". Moron. At this point I broke out laughing. He looked at me funny and that gave me the opening. I then informed him that this is a residential street not a speedway and that he got exactly what he deserved. Look at his front wheels. Totally busted in half. This kid got lucky.

Oh, I might mention that I have yelled at this kid before for racing on my street. Which I told the Regina Police promptly when they showed up. I hope they take this kids licence. They should lock him up with Bubba for an evening so he can understand what he did wrong. Notice the stolen street cone in the back seat. But they probably let him go home with his Mommy and Daddy, who I might add blocked my driveway with their car. I am sure they will run right out and buy their 'little boy' a new VW to pimp out and he will then procede to race down my street again.

If I see him again, oh man there will be hell to pay. This a hole drove over the sidewalk, the same sidewalk that I see around 100 kids a day walk to the park on. That is why I hate these guys. Anyway, I took this opportunity to teach McKenna that when she gets old enough to drive that she should not drive like a stupid idiot, which I said loud enough for the stupid idiots to hear, and that if she does this is what happens. Check out how long the skid mark is. That is just 1/4 of it. It was around two blocks long. He had to be going real fast.

So there it is, the truth comes out. I am turning into grumpy old man.

NEXT: The Nordic One, of the Gillet Nordic Persons, sent us his take on the whole Favre Saga...Take it away Nordic Man...


Hey Chris,

I have had a busy last few weeks. We laid to rest one of our own a couple of weeks ago. Very sad turn of events but he will be missed for sure. I even saw Hauser at the funeral covering it. It was quite the site. 100+ fire trucks and emergency vehicles with 700+ personnel in attendance. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE STORY

Oh, and the other news in GRB. Yes, Favre is a Jet. This was a train wreck from the word go. If anyone knows anything about office politics understands what happened here. Long story sort, Favre was forced out/retired. Favre was unhappy with this decision being made for him. Packers (TT and MM) still asses. TT is betting his career on AR. MM is already trying hard to get away from TT. TT says on day of the trade. "I didn't want to sign the trade papers cuz I don't want to be known as the GM that forced Favre out of GRB." Too late JA! (Donkey) The best way all this would have been avoided this summer would have been if Favre would have asked for the trade after the season was over instead of retiring like TT and MM wanted him to.

Trying to protect his legacy..... Please. There are still people out there that think there was nothing wrong with Clinton diddling an intern. No one cares if you switch teams anymore. And if TT and MM are so sure that Favre is a has-been, why were they sooo adamant that he not go to the Bears or the queens. As for the future? AR even if he pans out to be a decent player? He is in a no win situation cuz he will always be in Favre shadow. So he should really be under no pressure. Everyone expects him to fail or not be as good as what we had, so you might as well relax and give it a go.

It won't be any different than all the coaches since Lombardi dealt with. Needless to say, TT won't be here very long, MM lately looks to be clueless, and Favre has a new system to learn. AR better work on his image/attitude. Most everyone I know that has met him tells me he is an Asshat. TT just plain reminds me of a used car salesmen. Glad this is over and the Packers can now return to their ways of mediocrity.

I hope for more but wonder what life will be like when we have to put in a rookie QB because AR gets hurt in the first few games.

Nordic Man

Bill Clinton diddled an intern? Wow, did not know that, or forgot it. That is nothing compared to what the latest guy has done. But that is a whole nother story.

Thank you all for reading, Hauser is sending me pics and a story so stay tuned for that, until then GET BACK TO WORK, OR YOUR WEEKEND, WHATEVER!!!!

Favre is a Jet...

Okay, so it is over. The Packers management have successfully run out the three time MVP, one time superbowl, and future Hall of Famer. They say he is 'not in the right mindset' to play for the Packers. Well no shit sherlock. Who put him in that mindset? YOU. You (TT,MM) were the ones who from the day that he said he wanted to come back and play for the Pack have told him, and us, that you have 'moved on'. You (TT,MM) are the ones who told him, and us, that you had to 'do what is best for the Packers organization'. You are the ones (TT,MM) who hounded him weekly after the season ended to see if he was quitting. You (TT,MM) are the ones who have told him, and us, that candy ankles Rodgers was the starter. You (TT,MM) are the ones who hired the former chief liar for the President, Ari Fleischer to come and lie for you. You are the ones (TT,MM) who told him after he came back to Green Bay that it would be an 'open competition' for the starting job. You are the ones (TT,MM) who would not let him in the locker room when he came back. You are the ones (TT,MM) who will ultimately be held accountable when the Pack, God forbid, go 8-8 under Rodgers and the Jets get to the playoffs.

YOU are the reason he is not strapping it on in the green and gold. YOU are the reason he was on Greta Van whats her name badmouthing you. YOU are the reason Aarron Rodgers is going to have a tough time this year. YOU are the reason that I am soooooo pissed off right now. YOU are the reason that he was not in the right mindset. YOU are the reason he drove out of Lambeau 15 minutes before practice. YOU are the reason that upset around 50 percent of PackerNation. YOU are the reason I am ranting on TundraTalk right now.

I am not happy that this happened, but I am glad it is finally over. Even though it really is not over. After A Rod throws his first INT in game one, against the shitty queens, the crowd will reign boos down on his head. He thinks it is hard now, just struggle a bit. Anyway, I am just a bit upset right now, as I should be.

Oh and by the way, to all of you queen fans. You know the ones, the ones who lose bets to me every year. Those bets will still happen, and you will still lose. Oh yes, you will.

I spoke to Hauser, of the Green Bay Hauser's, yesterday. He has spent the last few days at the end of Favre's driveway. Which is too bad. Kinda reminds me a bit of the TO fiasco from a few years ago. Only Number 4 was not out on the driveway doing sit ups. Hauser told me he is glad the circus has left town. He will be giving us a full report with pictures soon.

Can you believe that Number 4 had a police escort, AND a helicopter following him home from the airport? Amazing. Not since OJ has there been this much coverage.

How do I come to grips with this? Well, with a few Packer wins this fall. Beat the queens twice, whip the snot out of the Bears, and the Lions, well, they are shitty so never mind. Win the division and don't get blown out in the playoffs. That is how I come to grips with this. Will I be buying a Jets Number 4 jersey? Nah, probably not, unless it it autographed and I can get it for 2o bucks.

Marty has something to say. Take it away Marty...

Dear Greatest Blog EVER,

I've said it in the past and I'll say it again.. Ted Thompson is a liar and a weasel and everybody knows it. When Brett talks about not being able to "trust the Packer franchise" - you can substitute the words "Packer franchise" for Ted Thompson...

I get it - Brett retired and they had to move on... But Brett and all his ego and need for adulation from the fans (not money this time) still gives you the best chance to win - NOW... Look - your not changing the constitution here, Brett knows the system and could easily walk in and compete for the job. Notice McCarthy distancing himself from Ted and having a direct conversation with Favre... This is all about Ted and wanting HIS GUYS and HIS WAY.

Bottom line: Brett plays a year with the Jets.. They struggle, but show that they can rally around Brett and actually do decent. Brett finds out how tough it really is to play for another team and deal with the hateful NY media and gets tired of it and really hangs it up at the end of the year. Thompson is gone in a couple of years - Favre repairs his relationship with new Packers GM Mike Holmgren and he is welcomed back as a Packer legend.

The Pack actually has a lot of talent this year - I got to see some practice and the intersquad game and they look very good.. Aaron is no slouch, but he's not a 17 year NFL pro either.. I think they will do well and surprise a lot of people. But I also think that Aaron Rodgers will be out on IR at some point in the season and the Pack will be looking for an experienced NFL quarterback... Who will that be?

Now I had this great post about my weekend in Minnapple and how much the queens suck, but it is all put on hold because of this emotional time. No man tears here, just man anger. I also got a great podcast with Robby DuPuis of the Minneapple DuPuis. Tony will be done soon also.

Okay, I have had enough. NOW, GET BACK TO WORK!!!!!
